| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, they sure didn't waste time this episode at getting straight to fighting goblins. Quite frankly, they're really showcasing Elf's archery abilities this episode. Still kinda felt like fighting in a video game though with the party dealing with the mobs of goblins. Oh and some of the different variations of goblins... Not sure how I feel about Sword Maiden's role so far. Her past is quite tragic though just based on some of her background story. |
 |
| Well it was an ok episode a bit of action and a bit of info. Anyway the fight was solved nicely and it's clear that Goblin slayer is getting a bit more human as well in his personality so it makes me wonder how much he will change. Elf is also funny in her behaviour. |
| Ah, this was fun. Bit of action, bit of drama, bit of backstory, bit of wholesomeness, bit of cute blushing girls, bit of dead goblins. What more do you need? |
| Good episode. The action was pretty cool. It was pretty cool to see the party drop the roof of the entire ruins over those goblins. Interesting revelation at the end, correct me if I'm wrong since either the subtitles or the dialogue felt a little vague to me. The Sword Maiden basically orchestrated this entire event of bringing Goblins into the town just so she could show people how terrifying they actually are because of her own traumatic past with them? The huge monster and the evil eye thing were both her familiars, the former guarding the situation so it doesn't get too out of hand and the latter protecting the mirror so the goblins could move to and fro the sewers and their actually hideout effectively. I feel bad for her and her past but I think what she did was wrong, I can understand her need of wanting to spread awareness about how dangerous these things actually are but her method of doing was rather extreme and could have lead to something real dangerous. GS being the cool guy at the end saying he'd slay goblins for her any day. Them pickup lines. XD Elf blushing at the end was so cute. <3 |

| Feel bad for Sword Maiden. Overall, another good episode with more goblin slaying. |
 |
| welp, that fight felt extremely short. half an episode wasn't enough somehow. anyways, they're almost caught up with the manga, 1 chapter behind. that's pretty cool also, that dialogue didn't really leave any impact on me. i get that it tried to show that even strong heroes like sword maiden can get shackled by fear from goblins, yet they kinda mixed the drama moment with gs' dull answers and kinda comedic "i won't do anything to you, cuz you're not a goblin" |

| Nice scene between Slayer and the Maiden, but I'm personally still not a fan of his stoic personality. |

XD Elf blushing at the end was so cute. <3 The dialog between Goblin Slayer and Sword Priestess didn't make much sense, but that clarifies it. However, what did she mean when she asked Goblin Slayer if he was going to save her? Well, I can only assume she wanted GS to comfort her/stay by her side or something along those lines so she could forget about/overcome her trauma but as it stands GS himself says he can't help her, despite knowing what she went through he cannot understand her trauma and her feelings as it's different from his own but he does say that he'd be happy to kill goblins for her anytime. |

| That dialogue was such a terrible presentation. It might be the subtitles' fault, but by the end I was like "...what? be clearer, dammit". |
 |
| Poor Sword Maiden, I wonder how she can remain serene in front of people after her experience with Goblins, she should have ended like the fighter of the first episode, or worse, since she was blinded too. Her scenes with Goblin Slayer was nice, he can be stoic and blunt, but he still managed to confort and add her to his harem. Well played, Goburin Sureia. Also, the alligator from the previous episodes is her familiar. That's incredibly cool, I mean, how many times a crocodilian familiar has been used? |

| Interesting episode that did well in expanding upon how the goblins are arriving in this area and also on sword's maiden's personality and the struggles that she has. The fight within the room was pretty intense. Though basic the party's tactics sure were creative and took great advantage of the gob's route. Though have to say that was pretty dangerous even by GS's usual standards. Hmm so the sword maiden took advantage of the party to rid the city of a threat before it could break surface huh. Though Sword maiden's mental state was more fragile than i expected. And while he can't save her by staying at least she established a bond with him. Seems seeing priestess try ice cream last ep also made GS curious about them too. The elf's reluctant admittance to want to join sure was amusing. |

They are minions of the Demon Lord. The mastermind no longer exists in this world. They were disposed of in a completely different place... by the Hero." |

I see, if that was the case then what exactly is GS accusing the Sword Maiden of? Not doing anything? |

| well yeah it was something hmmm..a bitter sweet end to the journey it was all constructed...you really feel the hate of goblins through out |

She wanted to put the blame on goblins so that people start taking the goblin threat seriously, but that failed. Goblin Slayer noticed that because of the way the girl was killed, that's not what goblins do, and then he told her she knows exactly what goblins do to girls because she lived through that herself. |

What about the alligator and that eye monster? The alligator was her familiar, she used it to patrol the sewers. The eye is a demon lord minion whose job was to protect the magic mirror. |
| Kinda boring, not gonna lie. I'm just not feeling it with this show as compared to before. |
| That tsundere kick. |
 |
| Well, that was an episode that's beyond what I knew since I stop reading the manga for a while. The episode itself, I'm not sure what to say about it but I'm looking forward to the remaining episodes. |
| The fighting was brilliant loved the idea of dropping the ceiling. The sword maiden trauma is real shit didn't realize that she was this scared! Btw is she blind?? Cause last episode I remember her eyes were white and from the flash backs they were blue? |

You can see on this episode what happened. They burned her eyes. She was not born blind. Anyways, she's blind but not totally blind, she can see things as fuzzy silhouettes. |

| This episode was exceedingly boring lol. Sword Maiden has been one of the worst characters so far, not as bad as High Elf tho. That girl deserves a spot in hell itself. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| A true RPG. I am likes this anime. Very intelligent the throw of the mirror. . the goblin slayer always thinks of creative ways to solve the problem. . this rpg table has a good player. lol |
| More goblin-slaying, obviously, and we got some interesting revelations during that conversation between GS and the Sword Maiden. I liked the little comedic scene at the end of the episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Every time a GS episode ends, i feel better, because it's closer to the ending and I can finally get rid of this disappointment. |
 |
Im disappointed they didnt show this scene. |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
| Not as good as the manga but was still decent I guess. |
